"I Think I Understand" lyrics

Be a vixen, be a saint
Eat a sandwich, lose some weight
Take and pack and pull a punch
Be everything and nothing all at once
All at once
All at once

A beautiful blank slate
A rocketship and a fire escape

All these voices
Running through my head
With combat boots
And black hearts painted red
Being everything to everyone
Will grind your soul to sand
So, honey, when you cry, I think I understand

I get pummeled by the shoulds
They leave me bloodied in the woods
Try to catch em? Can't keep up
Try to ditch em but they won't budge
They won't budge
They won't budge

You can't please everyone
But here I am, thinking maybe just this once

All these voices
Running through my head
With combat boots
And black hearts painted red
Being everything to everyone
Will grind your soul to sand
So, honey, when you cry, I think I understand

I don't understand anyone with all the answers
Who treat their every thought like it was scripture
Born in a burning bush
Born in a rapture
Born to wear a crown in the great hereafter
Oh, I don't understand
I don't understand

All these voices
Running through my head
With great big combat boots
And black hearts painted red
Being everything to everyone
Will grind your soul to sand
So, honey, when you cry, I think I understand

I think I understand
I think I understand
I think I understand
